Comedienne Whitney Cummings will make her directorial debut with relationship comedy “The Female Brain,” with shooting starting in Los Angeles in July.
Cummings will direct from her own script, which she co-wrote with Neal Brennan. Cummings will also appear in the film, based on Louann Brizendine’s book of the same name about couples who demonstrate the workings of primal neurology in their romantic relationships.
Black Bicycle Entertainment is financing and Erika Olde will produce alongside Night and Day Pictures’ Michael Roiff. Casting is currently underway.
Cummings was the creator and star of the NBC sitcom “Whitney,” which was cancelled in 2013 after two seasons, as well as the co-creator of the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls.” She was most recently seen in HBO’s stand-up comedy special “Whitney Cummings: I’m Your Girlfriend,” and is currently filming Denise Di Novi’s “Unforgettable” for Warner Bros.
